Train Train Médina by Mohamadou Ndoye Douts ( * 1973, Senegal ) recreates in an animation movie the chaotic liveliness of an old Dakar neighborhood, which grows to reduce itself to dust.

South African artist Thando Mama (* 1977, winner of the Belgian Community Prize) in We are Afraid shows and hides the face of a man in a video placed at the end of a dark tunnel, while some confused voices keep repeating "we are afraid".

From different observations we know, that a large amount of non-visible, so-called Dark Matter, contributes more to the total matter in the universe, than all stars, even more than all the atoms in the universe together.

It is very interesting to know, especially for the still open questions of structure formation and the evolution of the universe, whether neutrinos contribute to this dark matter in a significant way or not.

Also the answer to this requires a sensitivity on the neutrino mass of 1 eV / c & sup2; .

Within the standard LCDM paradigm, such an evolutionary path naturally explains a total density profile similar to those found in dark-matter-only simulations, together with a shallower dark matter density profile.

There seems no need to appeal to the more radical explanations proposed in some recent papers such as new physics in the dark matter sector or dynamical effects driven by star and black hole formation which are much more violent than any observed.

Château Petrus 2006 At the beginning very dull on the nose, with air it is virtually exploding, fleshy blackberries, lingonberries and leather, on the palate green stem but pleasantly clothy, enjoyable fruit sweetness with very fine tannins, seems very balanced, when tasting again subtle cigarrs, slightly smoky, a touch of myrrh

Messorio 2004 In my opinion the best Merlot of Tuscany, incredibly multi-faceted on the nose, caramel, coffee, dark chocolate and ripe cherries, great acidity, on the palate very well integrated but playful acidity never feels obtrusive, very balanced with enthralling tannins

Desiderio 2004 On the nose vivid fruit, subtle oriental herbs, with air prunes, black olives with ethereous touch, on the palate very straight with no big surprises

He, who had once said of tourists visiting this picturesque place that they would never understand it has, with the passing of years, become a tourist himself, in the settings of his own memories.

Thus Totó strolls through alleys, visits the dark limestone caves, chats with Tropea´s last fisherman and Melo, his now toothless friend from childhood. And yet he remains without a home in his attempt to repatriate his soul in this setting of his childhood that has now become too small.

At the time of sundown Nature bathes in colours In silence it waits For the approaching force In the halls of Ainola The true king of dark waters Lurks with his mistress Under the waves of a blue lake Dwells the mighty Ahti! Sailors praise the glorious name The ruler of tides;

Experts comment on Dark Matter at the International Conference on High Energy Physics ( ICHEP 2014 ) in Valencia

The search for Dark Matter will play a central role in the coming years for the future development of particle physics.

This opinion is at least held by Marco Cirelli (Saclay), Paolo Gondolo (Utah) and Michael Klasen (Münster) in an interview published on July 8, 2014 at the International Conference on High Energy Physics 2014 in Valencia.

Direct dark matter searches aim at the observation of interactions between WIMPs and atomic nuclei of the detector material.

Since such interactions between hypothetical WIMPs and nuclei are very weak, direct dark matter searches are located in deep underground laboratories to shield themselves against cosmic radiation and natural radioactivity.

Wilfredo Prieto ’s One Million Dollars ( 2002 ) humorously reflects a fantasy of unlimited wealth - creating an illusion that a single dollar is reproduced to infinity.

An elusive grasp of currency is also key to the video Pasatiempo (Dinero) (Pastime (Money), 2005) by Diana Fonseca in which two peso coins suddenly vanish leaving a dark stain on the artist’s hands – her instrument of practice.

They illustrated the fascination of earlier cosmopolitanism - of a vibrant and dynamic cultural exchange from Scandinavia to Sicily.

"The Middle Ages show how enlightenment, learning and knowledge were able to exist side by side with the darkest superstition, murderous prejudice and ruthless oppression," commented the federal president.

Hope – The Bonfire is an important feature in Dark Souls for many reasons.

Though in gameplay it serves as a health and magic recovery and a progression check point, it also happens to be the one place in the dark world where players can find a fleeting moment of warmth and calm.

Whether a demonic realm of shades, a cosy haven, or a brightly illuminated reflection of itself : numerous artists and scientists of various disciplines have been dealing with the night since time immemorial.

The Belvedere is to devote an exhibition to this omnipresent yet seemingly diminishing power that also allows taking an ironical look at the dark hours of the day and images thereof.

If the dark half of the day had long been associated with frequently threatening metaphors, symbols, and personifications, it underwent a wider interpretation and redefinition in the cultural perception of the past 200 years.

Europe is being transformed into a closed fortress and is adopting extreme measures to prevent access to its territory and to expel the undocumented.

We wish to react so as to stop Europe from falling back into the dark days of segregation between nationals and undesirables through the sytematisation of camps and forced expulsion.

We call for participation in a very large-scale European mobilisation during the week of 13th to 19th October in Paris, to promote a different understanding of immigration and a different relationship between the European Union, Africa and the rest of the world.

By symbolically reopening it in exile, Daniel Schauf and Philipp Scholtysik began a project series in 2012 with the aim of investigating the forgotten aesthetic of the National Theatre of Somalia, to find the National Theatre of tomorrow, an undead revenant of a utopian promise : a space of mutual cooperation, in which nothing and no one is covered up by homogenisation and hierarchy, but rather in which the resistance of the material lives on.

Driven by their vision, the artist team is caught up in an expedition into the uncertainty of their own existence, into the depths of the half- or subconscious, into a dark labyrinth of lies and guilt.

Everything he creates is pervaded by a morbid and romantic spell imminent to the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Baudelaire, H.P. Lovecraft or Lord Byron.

Equally effective, this architect of Gothic Novel Rock designs horribly beautiful cathedrals of dark music since the last breaths of the former millennium, painting sublime castles in the sky with dark clouds and continually burns himself to ashes in the reverberation of his own possession.

For possessed he is, possessed by his visions, his art, possessed by his words and notes.

Even whilst developing the superior hextech required for his growing Battlecast army, he's somehow found some time to turn his dark heraldic vision on himself and make some dramatic advances in his own augmentation.

EL CENTRAL – CALL CENTER Mohamed Hammad, Egypt 2006, Eng. subtitles, 18 min A veiled single woman working at a shop where people can make phone calls eavesdrops on customers ’ conversations in order to relieve the boredom of the job.

Her unflinching response to the dark, duplicitous and occasionally depraved behavior of seemingly innocuous callers provides material for a grim look at contemporary Egyptian society.

Mohamed Hammad, born in 1981 in Cairo, graduated with a degree in literature from Helwan University.

Its glamour sets it apart from the many functional pools around the city and offers its visitors not only a place to swim, but also a journey into the magnificent architecture of the turn of the last century.

At the time, city baths were often the only place for citizens to shower or bathe, especially for those Berliners who lived in dark, crowded tenements with catastrophic sanitary conditions.

High Tide hypnotically fixes its gaze on a landscape that ’s either prehuman or postapocalyptic, but definitely a timeless arrangement in shades of gray — Lovecraft ’s At the Mountains of Madness.

Stiff, dry and dully gleaming like damp tar, they tear a hole between the dark, gloomy sea and the grayish sky.

As the minutes pass, the gaze itself becomes the focus of attention and Marxt creates a thoroughly insistent presence of the camera’s eye, the frozen rigidity of which produces an infinite number of each filmed movement, no matter how minute.

It was not until the end of the 1970s that the historical importance of the site became obvious – within the framework of an international trade fair for the construction industry and due to the critical commitment of various community action groups.

An open and critical confrontation with this dark chapter of German history was to once again raise awareness for the victims of the Nazi regime.

Examples from the Internet (not verified by PONS Editors)

What are the advantages?

The PONS Dictionary delivers the reliability of a dictionary which has been editorially reviewed and expanded over the course of decades.
In addition, the Dictionary is now supplemented with millions of real-life translation examples from external sources. So, now you can see how a concept is translated in specific contexts.
You can find the answers to questions like “Can you really say … in German?” And so, you will produce more stylistically sophisticated translations.

Where do the “Examples from the Internet” come from?

The “Examples from the Internet” do, in fact, come from the Internet.
We are able to identify trustworthy translations with the aid of automated processes.
The main sources we used are professionally translated company, and academic, websites.
In addition, we have included websites of international organizations such as the European Union.
Because of the overwhelming data volume, it has not been possible to carry out a manual editorial check on all of these documents.
So, we logically cannot guarantee the quality of each and every translation. This is why they are marked “not verified by PONS editors”.

What are our future plans?

We are working on continually optimizing the quality of our usage examples by improving their relevance as well as the translations.
In addition, we have begun to apply this technology to further languages in order to build up usage-example databases for other language pairs.
We also aim to integrate these usage examples into our mobile applications (mobile website, apps) as quickly as possible.
